THE New York Legislature is disposed
to give equal rights to women in two
instances at least. The Senate has
passed finally, and the House to a third
reading, bill giving women the right to
vote at all municipal elections. 1t is
thought the House will pass the bill e..
nally, il for no other reason than to know
just what Governor Hill will do with it.
AS sort Of evener to this, the Assembly
on Friday killed bill exempting women
from capital punishment in that State
The membeIs evidently think that il a
woman is to vote like a man, she ought
to be willing to be hanged like a man.
The defeat OF the last named bill takes
away the last hope of Mrs. Druse, who
is to be executed this week in the Herki-
mer county Jail, unless the bachelor
Governor should gallantIy come to her
rescue with pardon or Communication o!
sentence. e.-Phild. TTme3.

EVERY days news has its quota OF
crime sand wiched throughout the more
important events trsnspiring and he
who has an unnatural taste for sensa-
tional reading will find enough in any OF
our great city dailIes to satisfy the most
morbid imagination. The first conclu-
sion reached in contemplating the long
list of daily crimes, is, that we are rap
idly degenersting from bad to worse,
and as a people socially and morally we
are fast drifting to the demnitlon
bow-wOws." Here is psIt Of the GRIM

of one class OF crimes reported in our
papers daily. But before we decide

in cold type the next morning. Fifty
years ago, or before the invention and
perfection of the telegraph. murders,
riots, assaults and all manner Of crimes
might be committed in an adjoining
State, and the news never get beyond
the border line. But now distance is
annihllated, and New York, Chicago,
Boston and even San Francisco are iu a
sense neighboring towns. Another fact
from which we may extract some conso-
lation, is, that news gatherers seek sOr
crimes instead of good deeds to describe
in the columns of papers. 1t would be
better for the growing generation If this
we're reversed. but we can rest assured
that many good, noble and charitable
deeds are being daily performed that are
never recounted in the papers.

A BILL favoring the Woman Suffrage
Amendment has been favorably reported
by the Committee in Pennsylvania Leg
islature. 1t Is not likely that any such
bill will be passed, but close observs-
tion of events indicate the gradual
strengthening OF the movement through.
out the country. Pennsylvania has
granted woman the right to be elected
on the board Of school directors, but
some other states have gone further and
given her the privilege of voting 1t mu-
nicipal elections. The granting of
universal suffrage 10 women is a question
upon which the fair sex is not a unit,
therefore its expedienUy is doubtful
There are other questions, however, in
vOlving the interests and welfare Of the
sex that no justice will deny s1em.-
One of these is the right to enter any
profession or occupation she may choose
on equal footing with her sterner broth
er. They sre gradually coming to the
front in industrial, mechanical and
professional pursuits and not infrequent-
ly steal the lsurels from the brow Of him
who has been accustomed to Iidicule the
idea of having q woman for a competi-
tor. The old idea that household drudg-
cry is womsn's proper and only sphere
is being effectually exploded. There are
some occupations for which she is not
physically adapted, and which her good
sense will prevent her from entering,
but the great majority of callings are
fully ss appropriate for her as for man.
There Is one profession in which woman
is not only needed but demanded by her
sex, and that is the medical profession.
AS nurses in private families and hospi-
tails, in alleviating the pangs Of distress
and affiiction. woman has shown herself
superior to man. Her capabilities for
rising in the medical profession have
also been exemplifed by noted examples.
That there should be any hesitancy in
her admission TO all medical colleges car
only be accounted for on the score of
the most selfish prejudice and bigotry.
The theory that certain genteel occupa-
tions can be filed by women, which are
nevertheless improper for her to fiII, is a
theory born Of bsrbaric ages. and should
have no place n enlightened nations.

THE psuper pension law bill vetoed
by President Cleveland has provoked
lively discussion for and against the
measure. The veterans of the war are
divided on the question, but it is very
noticeable that when the old soldiers
oppose it they do so with an esrnestness
that leaves no room to doubt their SIN
cerity. Congress is making an effort to
pass the measure over the Presidents
veto and in this the press of the country
is almost unanimous with the President
and against Congress.

England's Secret Treaty.
Baltimore Herald.

The secret treaty between England and Turkey, by which the former power binds itself to evacuate Egypt within three years, will never be car ried out, for the simple reason that it was never intended to be carried out. When the Car Nicholas said, in 1858, to the English Ambassador, Lord Stratford de Redclyffe, "Take Egypt and let me alone," he figured out pre- cisely the results which thirty years later were to be realized. So long as Russia has possession of part of Ar menia and the lines of communication between the Black Sea and the Afghan frontier, so long will England remain in Egypt as the sole security for her Indian empire. If once the Suez canal could be closed, England's hold on India would not be worth cent. There may be promises to get out and concessions to French sentiment or Russian irritability, but England like Russia-never gets out of coun- try till she is driven out by force of arms

The Rattlesnake's Bite.
Savannah News.

Few people understand the habits of rattlesnakes, consequently there is a good deal of unnecessary fear regard ing them. In the first place, a rattle- snake will not chase you, and in the second place, it will not attack you unless you come upon it in such a way that it cannot escape without attacking. If rattlesnake is dis turbed it usually sounds its rattle and makes off, but if you come upon it suddenly and it has to fight, it will coil itself up, boise it's head and strike at you downward. The fang is turned up under the upper jaw, and as it strikes this is thrown out and cuts into the flesh. It is as sharp as a razor and goes through a thin boot like steel blade. What is the best antidote? Whisky. The man who is bitten by a rattlesnake should have whisky poured into him until he is too drunk to stand, and he should be kept drunk for two or three days. The one poison counteracts the other. If he can't be made drunk there is little hope for him. 1 have seen it stated that bottle of turpentine turned upon the bite will draw the poison out in the shape of a greenish cloud that will float up into white fluid, but have never seen test made of that. Live flesh will also draw out the poison, it is said, and I know that in some places, when a person is bitten by rattlesnake, the first thing done is to kill chicken, cut it in half, and while the flesh is still quivering put it warm upon the bite.

Flattering. EXChange.

A lady who has been successful as a lecturer has in her scrap- book of press notices the following editorial com- ments upon lecture she delivered in a western town, written by the editor of the weekly paper.
 The lecture delivered last night in our Methodist temple of worship by Mrs. B., the notorious lady lecturess, was in all respects a fine effort.
 It has seldom been our good luck to hear finer flow of language from any lecturess, male or female.
 No doubt that it is to this gift of language that the lady owes her fame as female lecturess.
 For one hour and nine minutes she held her audience spell bound by her powers of speech alone. The lecture was highly oratorical. The subject was "The Works of George Eliot" of which she spoke so highly that our citizens will no doubt hereafter pe- ruse his works with greater interest.
 We confess to not having read many of Eliot's works, but shall look him up, now that we have heard so much of him through Mrs. B.
 We hope to hear Mrs. B. again in the near future, as she is so fine lec- tureSs.

A Call on Mrs. Burlington.

W. T. Tinsley, of the Lyons Repub- hcdn, speaks thus of a call made by him and the editor of the Gazette, upon Mrs. Burlington, on Wednesday of last week: ''During the visit of the New York Press Association to Bos- ton last week, it was the pleasure of one or two of the editors to visit at his pleasant and quiet home in Chel- sea that honored member of the craft, B. P. Shillaber, known throughout the world as Mrs. Burlington. They found their genial elder brother in excellent spirits, and in excellent health as well-barring the inability (because of rheumatism to walk any great distance-doing his excellent pen work daily, apparently with as little fatigue as when he was forty years younger. MT. Shillaber is employed upon book which will appear prob- ably in autumn-"Four Decades in 8 Printers Life." During his long res- idence in Boston and it's suburbs, and his intimate connection for SO many years with journalism, he has gath cred material for a most delightful volume, and his numerous friends of the press and the public generally vii! await its appearance with peculiar in- tereSt."

Refreshed Itself.
Exchange.

A traveller in Ireland tells how he got some rather indefinite informa- tion in regard to the owner of an estate past which he was being driven. There was coupled with it some men, tion of arrangements for travelling, which must have sounded very comi- cal to the inquirer.
 On one occasion, when passing a large white house not far from Kill laloe, I asked the driver whose house it was.
 "Sure, yer anner," said he, tits MT. S.'s domain, but he doesn't reside there since he died, about two years ago. Sure, yer amer, does not yer amer know that that's the place where the coach from Dublin refreshes itself with harses?'
 I don't know how was to know the fact, since I had never been on the road before; but he seemed to imagine that as he knew where the coach from Dublin refreshed itself with harses, 9 everybody else must needs know the same.
